Foreword/Intro:
Hello! This is my first fan-fiction ever published, but definitely not the first one I ever made. I used to write the old ones on my notebook (traditionally.. XD) but then I found out this site and I wanted to give it a try. Hopefully, this fic will be the first fic I'll finish.. (Mark my words there..) By the way this is a crossover fic. FYI: I'm fond of making crossovers, that's why I used Cross Rin-ji as my pen name. Cross meant two things: 1. Yuuki's last name in the series Vampire Knight. (I love VK) 2. I decided to put cross because I love crossover fics. Crossover fics are limitless and unique, for they combine two stories and roll them into one, creating a massive twist in the usual plot. But it's hard combining them, for you have to retain each character's personality trying hard not to alter them or some sort. Oh, I almost forgot. About the name Rin-ji and where it came from, you'll find out when you read the story. (Suspense effect? :'3 )
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters nor am I connected to their creators by consanguinity or affinity. I am just a big fan of them! 3
Dedication: To all the creators of Bloody Roar and Final Fantasy – Hudson and Square Enix. You don't know me but I just want to tell you that you inspire me to write stories out of your characters.
P.S.: Keniko fans… Very sorry, and I'm not against you..
I actually published this out of waiting for TinierMe's maintenance to end. XD Hope someone out there will like this. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not very fluent in English and I find it hard to make descriptions.
Ichi..
Ni..
San..
It was already 11:00pm when a ringing sound was heard. A man, in his 20's, tall and well-built ran quickly down the stairs with much urgency to see who was it. "I sure hope it's him. But why did he arrive so late in the evening? It's already 11pm, and usually he goes home at 7." He said, wondering to himself as he makes his way to the front door. "Kids.." He muttered. "Maybe he finally decided to go out with his friends." He presumed, considering this: as a teenager, his younger brother never did that, for he was a very studious, obedient kid who comes home immediately after school and had never got the chance to go out on parties, or even stay up late. "He was very well disciplined back then.. Wonder what happened?" He said to himself, as he twisted the knob opening the door.
That man was Yugo Ogami, who upon opening the door, had let out big sighs of relief. "Thank goodness you're here. I've been waiting for you since - - - - !" Yugo looked at his brother, Kenji from head to half of his body. He stopped and froze, mouth left hanging open by what he saw.
Kenji was alright, nothing bad had happened to him. No bruises, no blood, no nothing. Of course, why would Yugo become worried of his brother? He could defend himself, for he was a ninja. Not just a ninja but a zoanthrope. If someone would manage to harm him, it would most likely be a zoanthrope too. "Honto ni gomen ne (I am really sorry) for coming home late." Kenji said bowing down to his brother slightly with much respect, looking pretty much exhausted. What surprised Yugo is that he was not alone, for he was carrying an unconscious being in his arms – a girl. Yes, you got that right. She was a raven-haired girl wearing a black camisole sleeveless top and black shorts similar to cycling shorts covered in a blue dress all over. She was fair, pretty and innocent looking, about Kenji's age. Kenji went inside the house past Yugo who was still standing on the doorstep in amazement and with slight wonder, fixing his eyes on Kenji and the girl in blue. First of all, this was the very first time Kenji went home late. Second, this was also the first time he had brought a girl inside the house, except from Uriko who was his close friend. To top all that, the girl whom he had brought home was unconscious. "Now, this young man's getting somewhere." Yugo told himself. Kenji placed the girl in blue gently on the couch, and then had put his backpack on top of the table beside the couch. He as well sat on one of the couches beside where the girl was lying on. He couldn't speak for a while, for he was very tired. Again, thoughts ran through Yugo's mind. "Had he met the girl from a party or a bar?.. Is the girl drunk and had passed out that's why she's unconscious?.. And what did Kenji do to her while she was unconscious? Whatever he did wrong, I shall not tolerate him." Yugo said to himself. He was very paternal to Kenji, aside of being a brother. He thought that he had raised Kenji very well and he'll continue to do so. "Hey, Kenji.. I want to have a man-to-man conversation with you." Yugo, who was standing a while ago, sat down at another chair in front of Kenji and looked at him sharply. Kenji looked up to Yugo with tired, puzzled eyes. "Hey, did I teach you to respect a girl?" Yugo exclaimed, sternly. He meant what he said. "Why? What are you talking about, brother?" Kenji replied, innocently. "What do you mean 'what am I talking about?' please don't try to act innocent… Tell me the truth, what did you do to her and what did you make her do?.. Did you take her virginity, huh?.." Yugo said, accusing his brother like a criminal. "Oh, you meant that I did things to her?" Kenji was surprised by what his brother had actually thought. "Yes, what else could you possibly do to her in her unconscious state! And please don't act like you've done nothing wrong, Kenji? I know you're growing up, but that's not a reason to act immorally, understand? That girl is so young. If she gets pregnant, what will a student like you do to make her and the child live?" Yugo began to lose his temper, scolding Kenji like a father. Kenji let out a deep breath, gasping air because he was too tired from school, and from what happened that day. "Chotto matte kudasai, Ni-san. (Brother, please wait a second) Let me explain." Upon hearing this, Yugo tried to calm down, in a more relaxed state as Kenji began to talk. "First of all, I am really sorry for bringing a girl here. Second, I didn't do anything awful to her. I just found her somewhere lying unconscious on the way home. I saw some guys planning to take advantage of her, so I stepped in and drove them away. It took me awhile though, to chase them off, which explains why I went home late. I can't just leave her alone there in that state, so I took her with me. That happened after our Student Council Meeting which ended at 9pm because of a school event we were about to conduct." Kenji explained, although tired. "Oh.." Yugo said, as his temper completely subsided. He placed his hand at the back of his neck, and he chuckled, realizing he was wrong about Kenji. "And I thought, you've already changed. You're still such a good kid after all." He chuckled into a near laugh. Kenji still managed to smile. "I'm sorry I was too tired to explain." Yugo smiled back. "Yeah, you had a long day." Kenji's eyes turned to the girl in blue, as though changing the topic. "I know it was quite a day, but what about her? Where do you think this girl came from? I mean, I've never seen her before." Kenji consciously wondered. "Well, I've never seen her before either." Yugo replied, observing the girl, trying to figure out Kenji's question. "Kenji, could it be that this girl is a zoanthrope too?" Yugo made a wild guess, as he saw behind the girl a picture of a pair of wings printed on her dress. "A dove zoanthrope? Maybe?…" Kenji replied, puzzled. Then let out a yawn. "Whatever she is, we'll find out when she wakes up. For now, you need to rest, Kenji.. You have school tomorrow." Yugo answered, noticing Kenji's tiredness. "I'll put her inside the room so she can also rest." Yugo stood up and carried the girl in his arms. Kenji also stood up to go to his room. "Hold on a second, Yugo Ni-san.. Where is she going to sleep?" Kenji thought out loud, remembering that there were only two rooms in their house – his and Yugo's. Yugo thought for a second. "In your room of course. You were the one who brought her here." Yugo smiled at Kenji. "Well, okay.. I guess I'll have to sleep in the couch." Kenji sluggishly replied, having no choice. "Uh-uh.." Yugo nodded his head. " You should sleep in your room too, but not in your bed. You should keep an eye on her. We're still not sure about who she is. A pretty young girl like this can also be deceiving." The two both entered Kenji's room. Yugo placed the unconscious girl on Kenji's bed. "There.." He turned to Kenji. "You should use the futon bed right there Kenji." He pointed at the cabinet on the left corner of the room where an extra futon bed was stored. Kenji did what Yugo have said, reaching through the cabinet. Yugo looked at the wall clock on Kenji's room. By that time it was 12:30am, and he could tell he was feeling drowsy. "I guess I should, might as well rest. Don't forget to wake up early, Kenji.." Yugo reminded him. "Okay.. I won't.." Kenji replied, as he started to fix his beddings. "Oyasumi, Kenji.. " Standing beside the room's door, Yugo bid goodnight. " Oyasuminasai.. " Kenji responded. Yugo left, closing the door and headed to his room. Kenji stood up, sat on the corner of his bed, seemingly missing it. He looked at the girl who was lying asleep on his bed, watchfully. "I hope you'd cause no harm to us.." Kenji thought to himself, getting a blanket and covering the girl's body with it. After which he stood up, turned off the lights and tucked himself in his futon bed.
